Brian,

The fact that menu.lst.ucf-new is absent suggests that you rebooted after receiving this error message; unfortunately that may make it impossible to debug further in your case, but we'll see what we can do.

2.6.27-3 is an older version, that was superseded before 8.10 was released; but 2.6.27 should be installed if you upgraded to 8.10. You can check for this with the command 'dpkg -l linux-image-2.6.27-*-generic'.

If 2.6.27-7-generic is installed, but is not showing up in your menu.lst, this suggests that after receiving this error the first time you chose the default option ("use locally modified version") on the next run through. If I'm not mistaken, running 'sudo update-grub' from the command line will let you pull the new kernel into menu.lst. (if it doesn't, removing and reinstalling the linux-generic package will do the trick.)
